Once upon a time, she met the perfect man and until someone like him comes into her life again, sheâs happy at home, with her wildflower painting for solace.

But thereâs something very strange going on at his surgery, and then, just when his hopes of a family of his own might be fulfilled, the unthinkable happens. Is there no escaping the past?
